PERCAPAKAN

Harry dan Barbara sedang bercakap-cakap di pasar malam desa.

Harry : Everyone’s certainly making a fuss of that film star.

Barbara : Well, it’s a great occasion here when someone well-known opens the fair. It does a lot of good. (Bunyi siulan).

Harry : I wish that boy would stop making such a horrible noise with a whistle. It makes me so irritable.

Barbara : Harry, do stop grumbling. You’ve ever been to an English country fair before. Now that’s you’re here you should make the most of it. Why don’t you go and have your fortune told?

Harry : I’m sure I can do without that.

Barbara : And I’m sure it won’t do you any harm. Ask her about your prospect with the inflatable umbrella.

Mr. Hardcastle : Hello. Have you been round the fair yet?

Barbara : I think so. We’ve been on the swings and I’ve won a doll. Harry’s in a bad temper though, because he made a fool of himself in the shooting gallery. He shot at once of the attendants by mistake!

Mr. Hardcastle : Good heavens! Was it serious?

Barbara : Oh, no. Luckily he just shot a button off the man’s sleeve!

Harry : He got in the way.

Barbara : He didn’t darling.

Harry : I tell you the fool ….

Barbara : That’ll do. Harry!

Mr. Hardcastle : Well-er, anyway, I just saw that friend of mine who might help you with your invention. You must meet him.

Harry : Where is he?

Mr. Hardcastle : He’s coming back in half an hour. I think you’ll find him useful. He does a lot of business with the umbrella manufacturers. Makes a lot of money too.

Barbara : Meanwhile why don’t we visit the fortune-teller? Do let’s.

Harry : All right then. We’ll see if she thinks I’m going to make a fortune.
